BFB Annual Meeting

At the annual BFB meeting the main focus will be on presentations by young scientists presenting their current results in their fields in short lectures or during the poster-sessions.  

Seminars and Talks

  • DZNE Genetics, Viruses, and B cells and Multiple Sclerosis

    Prof. David A. Hafler, M.D. Yale School of Medicine ‘Genetics, Viruses, and B cells: the Cause of Multiple Sclerosis’

  • MPINB Nervous system patterning and evolution in nematodes

    MPINB Neuroscience Seminar Series Prof. Oliver Hobert Columbia University ‘Nervous system patterning and evolution in nematodes’

  • IMPULSE Focus ‘Understanding the Human Imagination’

    A Public Lecture entitled "Understanding the Human Imagination: A Neurophilosophical Framework" by Prof. Dr. Anna Abraham in the IMPULSE-Focus Event Series 2026/27 on Imagination/Memory

  • BonnBrain Conference From Genes to Circuits and Behavior

    Keynotes by Cori Bargmann, Edvard Moser, Maude Baldwin, Rosa Paolicelli and Zach Knight. As every year, our meeting also includes a student-organised Young Investigator Symposium, this year featuring a Career/Q&A Session with Leonie Welberg (senior editor at Nature Neuroscience), which is open for every attendee. In addition to two poster sessions, up to 16 slots for talks selected from the submitted abstracts are available.

  • FACSCoreFacility

    The Flow Cytometry Core Facility invites all PIs and researchers, particularly those within ImmunoSensation Cluster, Immuno Oncology Groups and the Organoid Club to explore possible new high-end sorting workflows. We are combining Samplix double emulsion technology with the Sony MA900 Large Particle Option to unlock new research possibilities: • Functional Assays: Use Samplix droplets for single-cell cytotoxic killing and cytokine secretion assays. • Beyond Standard Cells: Sort large particles (>50 µm), clusters, and small organoids with the MA900’s specialized sorting option. • Precision Isolation: Isolate rare phenotypes based on functional output rather than just surface markers.
